January 12, 2024 Trev

2023 was a massive year for local favourite Adam Baldwin. Hot on the heels of his 2022 release Concertos & Serenades, Adam announced two headlining shows at the local soft-seater the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium as part of his tour of the Maritimes. This was something of a departure from his earlier and more raucous… Read More

Flashback Friday // Big Wreck @ The Light House Arts Centre – 15.11.2023

December 15, 2023 Trev

The initial impetus for creating HAFILAX over 20 years ago, was to be a site to list upcoming shows in and around Halifax. The idea sprung from seeing a poster the day or two after The Watchmen played here, of whom I was a big fan. It was disappointing… Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // The Beaches w/ Loviet @ the Light House Arts Centre – 20.10.23

October 25, 2023 Trev

Hot off the heels of The Beaches' Halifax show in February of 2023, the band promised they’d return soon. In most cases, this is little more than lip service being paid to the amped-up attendees; but sure enough, shortly after that show, the initial leg of the Blame My Ex tour was announced and true… Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // Donovan Woods w/ Kellie Loder @ The Light House Arts Centre // 13.10.23

October 16, 2023 Trev

There was no shortage of options for the concert-goer on this October 13th (a Friday no less) in Halifax, with the Doobie Brothers playing less than a stone's throw away at the Scotiabank Centre. Down the hill, the Light House Arts Centre featured a potent folky singer-songwriter bill with… Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // The Barr Brothers @ The Light House Arts Centre // 12.08.23

August 17, 2023 Trev

There are countless shows that have left folks with little more than a ticket stub in their pocket. Some shows are tinged with regret and tend to linger longer than we like, while others stamp our memories with indelible ink. We don’t get to pick and choose when the latter occurs, but when it… Read More

Wayback Wednesday (Photo Gallery) // Celebrating Jay Smith Benefit Concert – 31.03

June 14, 2023 Trev

Earlier this year, an impressive roster of artists convened at the Light House Arts Centre to celebrate the life of Jay Smith. 2023 marked the 10th anniversary of Jay's passing, almost to the day (March 27th), and while that loss still reverberates throughout the Nova Scotia music scene and well beyond our border, this was… Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // The Rural Alberta Advantage @ Light House Arts Centre // 25.05.23

June 12, 2023 Trev

We have all had the experience of having a social media notification that a former acquaintance or an old friend wants to connect. Plenty of us have clicked that accept button, only to be greeted with a canned response from said person asking that we meet over coffee to discuss a fantastic life-changing pyramid-building… Read More

It was a cool mid-April Saturday night in Halifax when Tim Baker returned as part of his tour supporting his late 2022 release The Festival. A legion of fans flocked to the downtown venue to support the former Hey Rosetta! front-man turned solo artist. This crowd was made up of fans of both the aforementioned… Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // July Talk w/ Nyssa @ The Light House Arts Centre – 14.04.23

April 20, 2023 Trev

There are plenty of bands that can consider themselves frequent fliers in the Maritimes, but few of those acts can call Halifax a secondary home. July Talk is one of those bands that has cultivated a special relationship with the Maritimes, and Halifax in particular. Just over a decade ago that the band made its… Read More
